For me english has well ruined english for me. I love books and reading them but I honestly dont give a shit about how animal farm is related to the Soviet Union, forever making the book un-enjoyable in future years. Poems are even worse. I once read a poem out of free will and I never did again. What makes people think that learning poetic techniques is useful in any job later in life. I dont see dragons den contestants reciting poems to gain the dragons favor. In my view there words written in a creative way which only means something to the poet himself or the person it is directed at, and not some random 15 year old in a classroom

I’ll be honest here I am racist in my own way. I treat differenetly newly met white people than newly met black people. Why? Well the majority of Black people I met and heard about have been rude and nasty to me. I have seen next to none black people who do not act like retards in class and are part of the gangs in my school.

This is further backed up by the news, (and possibly my own brain remembering partiuclar things) who seem to only report on sinister black people in gangs or fraud’s.

Though this is only my experience and I know that, I don’t call them any racist terms to them as I believe color of skin makes little difference. But that cannot stop my self conscious brain stereotyping blacks as bad people.

I actually once met a family friend who I never seen before, panicked they were black (I.e. for my brain panicked they would be gangsta’s and what not), but turned out to be a friendly group of people who I had made good friends with, but that is 2 out of the dozens of blacks who I have had bad experiences with

Also their behavior may relate to being a minority where I live (England), as when I went to South Africa for holiday, the Black people were always friendly and generous and a pleasure to be with

Ok I am in year 11 and taking my GCSE’s (English qualifications for you Americans). I have just come back from summer looking forward to actually doing something. Though only half way through my first lesson I was half asleep half listening to some teacher babbling on about poetry.

And this brings me to my question… School, does it really have to be so boring?

Yes I know school is important, that’s the whole reason why I wanted to go to it, but as soon as I get into lessons my mood drops; my brain slows down and, well I just stop caring. I personally believe that if a teacher can find new ways to educate people then we will learn more and thus do better. It makes it easier, in my view as a pupil, to achieve what you want to do. I have experienced this myself and thus once excelled in history and Maths due to the great teachers I once had. But now years have gone and I’m left with a teacher, young or old; male or female, who drowns you in worksheets and babils on to you about the importence of his or here subject.

Which brings me to something else, why are there so few good teachers. At my school, lets take Maths, I would grade only 1 of the 9 maths teachers as good, with another 4 being alright. Which leaves 4 teachers who well, are just plain awful. Its not just me, its quite common in my school for people to go, "Oh (Teacher name) is so awful, I’d rather eat horse droppings than face an hour of hell.

As I already stated its not the subject thats boring, I quite enjoyed Maths, (please dont common on just maths related answers, Im only using it as an example,) with a teacher. Never to dull, or to hard, or easy, it was always something new.

So to quickly sum up what I’ve said, why does school have to be so boring and why are there very few “Good teachers.” Im just wondering what your opinions on the education system is, whether your pupil, parent, teacher or even random guy living in a shed.

(Admittedly I could ramble on about school being awful for hours, though I must get some IT homework done, as I respect the teacher and dont want to let down an effective teacher. English and Mrs (name) on the other hand I dont care so much about)

Another major war can not happen as everyone is scared of everyone else. China, Europe, Korea, Middle East all have enough nukes to nuke the crap out of each other meaning that starting a war is like signing a death wish. Nukes may seem evil but thats all thats keeping us from attacking each other.

The only time when war is viable is when we colonise new worlds which builds up a new race for land, but thats so far in the future I dont really care about it.

I went on a game stop store locater (http://www.gamestop.com/storelocator.aspx). There is no country option of Britain or england and the closest is Ireland. Does that mean game stop hasn’t expanded to England yet?
